The festive season is a time of warmth, celebration, and increased activity in homes and businesses. As families prepare for the holidays, electricity becomes central to creating a comfortable and joyful atmosphere. During this period, it is especially important for customers to stay aware of individuals who may attempt to impersonate service providers for personal gain. At AEDC, the safety and security of our customers remain a top priority, and we are committed to supporting you with the right information to protect yourself and your household.

Scammers often present themselves as meter installers, technicians, or account officers, using deceptive tactics to appear credible. Their goal is typically to request payments for unauthorized services or obtain access to areas they have no legitimate business entering. While their strategies may seem convincing, customers can stay protected by taking a few simple precautionary steps.

Your Trusted Tools for Safe and Confident Verification

To ensure that every interaction you have with AEDC is safe and transparent, we provide a secure verification platform where customers can instantly confirm the identity of anyone claiming to represent us. Before granting access to your premises, simply visit verifystaff.abujaelectricity.com and verify the staff details. This quick step provides clarity and ensures that you are dealing with an authorized representative.

It is equally important to remember that AEDC does not request or accept cash payments for meter installation, technical services, or account support at customer locations. All payments must be made strictly through our approved channels.
